Contractor Accounting Services

about_rectangle

Like all types of employees, contractors are also responsible for managing their accounting, bookkeeping, and tax returns to remain compliant with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). 

A contractor accountant provides professional services to help individuals with tax planning by structuring their affairs efficiently to ensure compliance. In turn, contractors can effectively minimise their tax burden in the process. 

By enlisting the help of specialists in this field, you’ll receive tax advice on deductions appropriate to your personal circumstances and other beneficial strategies involving investments, trusts or SMSFs.

KNS is a specialised contractor accountancy firm that has been providing tax services in this niche for many years. Our team upholds an experienced and trustworthy position in the industry.

Why Should Contractors Employ an Accountant to Manage Their Financial Affairs?

Being self-employed entails managing and keeping track of your finances yourself so that you can pay the necessary taxes involved. The downside to this is that it becomes rather time-consuming and complicated to navigate.

Contractor accountants are beneficial because they minimise the administrative burden, so that you can spend more time completing your day-to-day work. Remember, every minute spent on finances is a minute that could have been spent generating an income for your business, so it’s crucial to delegate these complex matters to someone who can take care of the process productively.

Trying to stay on top of everything using Excel spreadsheets is a good start but quickly becomes messy and overwhelming. Accountants like us have specialised cloud-based software on hand to manage the process electronically, minimising the risk of mistakes. You can access your information from anywhere in real-time and upload receipts and other documents on the go.

Here are some other benefits of having your own dedicated accountant as a contractor:

Tax Planning and Compliance

Contractor accountants are obliged to stay up to date on the latest industry legislation, as well as changes that may be in the pipeline. This means that with KNS Accountants, you never have to worry about missed deadlines or paying fines and penalties. No more expensive surprises when tax time rolls around!

Our accounting and tax services include lodging your BAS and annual income tax return on your behalf. We also provide professional advice on tax strategies to maximise your deductions and ultimately help scale your wealth. 

A dedicated contractor accountant understands specifically how they should run their business. With this knowledge behind us, we can provide business advice on how to legally structure the capital of your limited company so that it’s tax-efficient and in line with all relevant regulations. Additionally, we always tailor advice to suit your personal business and circumstances – for example, expenses that can be reimbursed come tax time.

SMSF Management

Many contractors have a self-managed super fund (SMSF), and they are responsible for ensuring that it complies with the financial reporting laws for auditing and taxes. If you don’t have one, we can help you set one up, too.

A contractor can certainly manage their own superannuation fund, but it takes a lot of time and effort. So, it can be beneficial to employ the services of an SMSF accountant to ensure your return is lodged correctly.

Our accounting service will help you maximise gains and reduce losses, expenses and tax. Our professional team is always knowledgeable about the latest law developments in the superannuation industry. A response can be implemented quickly if there are any changes to the regulatory environment.

 

Cashflow Planning

Being a contractor or owning your own business means even more attention needs to be paid to accounting. There are a lot of factors at play, and many of them are out of your control.

For example, let’s assume you’re a contractor building a home, and you buy all the required materials upfront using your business capital. Then, somewhere along the line, your client goes bankrupt. Because you’ll probably only get a small amount in return for what you paid for the materials, you’re at risk of going bankrupt as well, unless you have enough capital.

Contractor accountants can help you balance your cash flow in situations like this. We’ll teach you to match big expenses with considerable revenue, invoice regularly, and receive upfront materials or labour payment. Construction contractors often fail due to bad debts, so we’ll help you manage your cash flow effectively.

Are You a New Contractor?

As a new contractor, there are several accounting requirements. Our experienced team can get you on the road to being tax compliant and on top of your finances.

Here are some of the things KNS Accountants can assist with:

  • Applying for an Australian Business Number (ABN).
  • Apply for a Tax File Number.
  • Registering for Good and Services Tax (GST).
  • Opening a business bank account.
  • Organising payroll arrangements.
  • Setting up a business structure that’s tax efficient.

How Much Tax Does a Contractor Pay in Australia?

As a contractor, you need an ABN to invoice your clients. If you don’t, you must – by law – withhold 47% of the total amount of payment for tax purposes. 

If you earn above $18,200 per year, you don’t fall within the tax-free threshold and are therefore obligated to pay income tax to the ATO. How much you are required to pay is dependent on how much money you earn in total. A higher income means a higher tax rate, so you need to determine where you fall within the spectrum.

Because your income tax doesn’t get deducted from your salary, you have to be diligent and set aside funds equivalent to how much tax you think you’ll be required to pay the ATO when it reaches the end of the financial year. Our accountants generally recommend that our clients open a different bank account to transfer the necessary tax after each invoice.
